I’m excited to share a new domestic thriller from my author friend, @Jennifer Ruff. It’s for readers who love psychological suspense with huge twists.
The spotlight is dangerous when everyone has something to hide.
When ER nurse Haley James saves a stranger’s life on a train, the heroic moment is captured on video and goes viral overnight. Suddenly thrust into the media spotlight, Haley becomes the center of a national frenzy. Reporters dig into her past. Detectives ask difficult questions. Secrets about her failing marriage threaten to surface.
As the pressure builds, a devastating revelation from her mother shatters everything Haley believed about her family. With her life unraveling, she begins to question everyone around her—the detectives investigating the case, her estranged husband, and the charming lawyer who seems too good to be true.
In this thriller packed with deception, hidden motives, and shocking revelations, trust is a luxury Haley can’t afford. When the truth finally comes out, it will change everything.
The Last Seat is included in Kindle Unlimited, and available everywhere audiobooks are sold.

Happy Release Day to SEA BREEZES AT THE BEACH HOUSE HOTEL...I've waited all month to share it with you!

LAST excerpt! Sea Breezes is out tomorrow!!
🌴🌴🌴
But this evening, with the sun lowering in the sky and the sea breezes whispering endearments, this wedding couldn’t be matched because we all knew what it had taken to reach this point.
I glanced at Rhonda. She and I had hosted many weddings at The Beach House Hotel and would continue to do so. Moments like this made all our hard work worth it, allowing us to provide such a lovely setting. We shared the hopes and dreams of all who came here to be joined in matrimony and welcomed those who came for rest, privacy, fun, and excellent food.
Standing on the opposite side of the circle, wiping her tears, Rhonda winked at me.

Excerpt #6! Only TWO more days until Sea Breezes releases!
🌴🌴🌴

After dinner, Bailey and Ned were put to bed, and Vaughn, Nell, and I sat on the lanai. As if the dog knew she needed extra support, Cindy curled herself into Nell’s lap.
After discussing Clint’s situation, Vaughn offered to call and invite him for a weekend of sailing.
“You can try,” said Nell. “But I’d be surprised if he agrees to do it. Not when he’s working with Claudine on their special project. Claudine Everett’s family made a fortune in oil and real estate, and she’s not only rich but beautiful,” Nell explained.
“What is this project?” Vaughn asked. “It has to do with an investment in a startup company that will be sold.
Something like that,” Nell said. “I wonder if Will or Reggie has heard any news about it,” I said. “Or maybe one of Arthur’s clients that Reggie will be handling from now on.” “Let’s keep it as simple as possible,” Vaughn said. “To me, it sounds like a deal that could go terribly wrong.” Nell’s cell phone rang. She looked at it and stood. “It’s Clint. I’ll go talk to him in private.” After she left the room, Vaughn looked at me and shook his head.
“I don’t like what I’m hearing.” “Me, either,” I said. “But we have to let them figure it out for themselves.” “Okay, but I still don’t like it,” he said. A few minutes later, Nell came back into the room. “I asked Clint if he could extend his stay to include the entire weekend, but he said no. He’s hoping for a sail with you on Friday, Dad, before his evening flight.”
“Weather permitting, we’ll go,” Vaughn said. “Maybe I can get a better understanding of what’s going on.”

Excerpt #5 ... Three days to go!
🌴🌴🌴
Brock frowned and shook a finger at me. “Look, I know we haven’t always been the best of friends, but I’d like to start all over again with you and Rhonda. You can be good for my business, and my business can benefit you.”
“Like I said, Brock, thanks, but no thanks. See you later.” He shook his head. “You’ll be sorry. Just saying.” I headed back to the hotel in an easy jog, though I wanted to sprint as fast as possible. There was something so dishonest about the man that I felt goosebumps crawl over my skin even as I warmed up from my run.

#4 ready for you to enjoy!
🏝️🏝️🏝️
The next day, what was supposed to be a low-key welcome home party for Clint, turned into something much bigger. Vaughn, Will, and Reggie joined Angie, Liz, Tina, Rhonda, and me for a luncheon I had catered by the hotel. The men had worked as hard as the women in getting the house ready, and it seemed only right to include them.
We gathered in the empty kitchen, waiting to rush out front to surprise them as soon as we heard Nell’s car in the driveway. I gazed around the room, feeling as if the empty house was already a home because of the love that had gone into changing it. Vaughn caught my eye and winked, understanding what I might be feeling.
The sound of a car in the driveway brought us out of the kitchen and onto the front walk just as Clint awkwardly emerged from the car. His eyes were round with surprise as he gazed from us to the house and back again.
“Welcome home,” said Liz. “Welcome to your new house,” Angie added. Nell came up beside Clint, and as she reached for his arm, he turned away from her and us. It wasn’t until I saw his shoulders shaking that I realized he was crying.
